GoDaddy has hosted our website for more than 20 years. In the last 12-18 months I've seen a big decline in the level of customer service or resolve problems that arise. Now it's always the customers fault and they are more keyed into selling you a new service than fixing the problems the create.
Here's my issue: We pay a premium whereas GoDaddy hosts our website, provides and maintains security, backups, WordPress platform, and with that are required "plugins" which guide and control the website functionality, all furnished and maintained by GoDaddy. Every few weeks as an admin, we log into our website "through GoDaddy" to update plugin software when needed... usually update all automatically.
We did this on 12-18-23 and after doing so our ability to make web edits stopped and we get an error message. After conversations with GoDaddy web tech support 12-18 and again 12-19, support techs say we have a "Bad" plugin installed and it is our (mine) responsibility to troubleshoot and repair. Lastly, saying they can do this repair for us if we upgrade to another package and pay another fee. WHAT-SERIOUSLY? A customer for all these years, GoDaddy hosts our website, GoDaddy provides Wordpress, GoDaddy provides the plugin software updates controlling the website functionality, GoDaddy has in the past maintained this and now it's broke and want a fee to fix.
Our webmaster took our site over in 2017 and then they advised me to move stating they are not what they once were... you need to move. Our w-master seeing what I've written above was not one bit surprised and says... MOVE, I've been telling you.
